ToaZZ whom it may concern:

I, PAUL GLAMZO, a citizen of the Lithuanian Republic, and a resident ofthe county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented a newWire Connector, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to wire connecters for electricalwork and hasreference more particularly to a connector suitable. for radio wirmg.

The main object of my invention is to pro-- vide a simple, inexpensiveand convenient connector which can be manufactured cheaply and whichwill permit close connection whether detachable or permanent and towhich a wire may be connected by means of the fingers of one handthereby permitting the use of this connecter in closed quarters.

The appended drawing illustrates my invention and in which Figure 11s atop plan view,

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view,

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3, Figure 1, showing a wire attached tothe connector, and

Figure l-is a section on line n l, Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing, the connector is formed of a yielding fiatblank, the portion 5 ol: which is preferably circular and provided witha central aperture 6. Extending from the circular portion 5 of the blankis a portion? which in top and bottom elevation (see Figures 1 and 2) isrectangular in shape and from which portion 7 are drawn two spacedcoaxial cylindrical segments 8, leaving a substantially lE-shapedsection 9 in the blank in a plane common with the circular portion Eachoi the cylindrical segnlents 8, in their central portions, are providedwith a lug 10, the two lugs facing and are necessarily at the highestpoints at the central portion 9 of the blank. Since the two lugs 10 arecut out from the portion 9, the same has its weakest point at 11, whichpermits this portion of the blank to yield when a wire 13 is forcedbetween the portions 9 and 8 ofthe blank.

The portion 9 of the blank guides the wire inserted between the portions8 of the blank as it passes under the lugs 10 and causes the wire tostay between the edges 12 of the cylindrical segments 8, the lugs 10wine GON'NETCTER.

- locking the wire between vthe edges er the t-ion 9; olithe blank.

Although theconnecter is mainly intended to receive wires in a manner asshown in cylindrical segmenta -and against thefqoor- Figure 3, wires canbe inserted into the connecter in a direction parallel with the axes ofthe cylindrical segments; in other words, transversely of the portion 7of the blank.

The wire, if desired, may be attached per inanently to the connector byplacing a drop of solder at the lugs 10.

Although this connector is mainly intended for 21 standard Wire, squareor round, smaller or larger wires can be easily connected thereto byapplying pressure to the members 9 and 10 previous to inserting a wire01 a smaller size. For a larger size wire all that is necessary is toforce the wire between the edges 12 of the cylindrical seg ments. Thelugs 10 and the part 11 of the blank engage tightly the wire inposition, whether the same is of a smaller or slightly larger, size thanstandard for which the connecter is designed. As will be seen, this typeof connector permits the connection to a wire by the use of one hand,thereby leav ing a clear view while the connection is made and also, dueto the fact that the connection may be made by one hand, it isparticularly suitable for connection in closed quarters.

I claim: i

1. A wire connecter of the class described, formed of a yielding fiatblank having an apert ured circular portion and an extension therefromin a plane with the circular portion, said extension having a pair ofspaced raised portions, each of said raised portions having an inwardlydirected lug for engagmg a wire inserted between the ra1sed port1ons andretaining it against the extension on which the raised portions areformed.

2. A wire connecter of the class described,

formed of a yielding flat blank having an apertured circular portion andan extension therefrom in a plane with the circular por tion, saidextension having a pair of spaced coaxial cylindrical segmentsformedthereon, each of said cylindrical segments having an inwardly directedcentral lug for engaging a wire inserted between the cylindricalsegments and retaining the wire against the extension on which thesegments: are formed.

3. A wire connector of the class described.

formed of a ieldin flat blank havin an Y e s apertured circular portionand an extension therefrom in a plane With the circular portion, saidextension having a pair of spaced coaxial cylindrical segments formedthereon, the axes of said segments running transversely of theextension, each of said cylindrical segments having an inwardly directedcentral lug for engaging a Wire inserted between the cylindricalsegments and for retaining the Wire against the extension on .Which thesegments are formed.

4. A wire connecter of the class described,

formed of a yielding fiat blank having an apertured circular portion,and a substantially I-shaped extension therefrom in a plane with thecircular portion, said extension hav-- ing spaced cylindrical segmentsformed thereon between the opposite shoulders of the I-shaped extension,each of said cylindrical segments having an inwardly directed centrallug, and said Ishaped extension having notches facing the lugs.
